A Touch of Texas Irish Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Heiress Aileen Lynch has just lost her mother to cancer, but her spendthrift stepfather insists she must cancel his gambling debts by marrying his disreputable associate. Fleeing Ireland with the help of her mother’s lawyer, she lands in Boston to stay with friends and is attracted to one of their visitors.

Doctor Samuel Walker is in town to attend a medical conference. When he meets the lovely young Irishwoman he is quite taken with her and, at his colleague's entreaty, marries her and takes her home to Texas with him to keep her safe. Sam rationalizes that he doesn’t need a wife but he does need a mother for his son.

While Aileen strives to earn Sam’s affection, he vows never to risk Aileen’s safety or his heart—he’ll not father a child and watch Aileen die in childbirth as his first wife did. And falling in love is not in his plans.

A TOUCH OF TEXAS IRISH is a historical romance set in the late 1800's.  The story begins in Ireland as the heroine, Aileen Lynch, is attending her dying mother.  Within days of her mother's death, Aileen inherits the bulk of her family fortune while her father is left with only a small allowance. Unable to pay his gambling debts her father pleads with Aileen to marry the scoundrel to whom he is indebted in order to avoid prison. Aileen doesn't want the marriage but is afraid that guilt for her father's plight will eventually have her give in to the scoundrel's shady proposition. Mr. Jamison, the trusted family lawyer, had made plans along with Aileen's mother to spirit her away to America in order to evade pressure from her father. Arriving in America, Aileen resided in Boston with Mr. Jamison's brother and family. While in Boston she received some family heirlooms and a letter from her mother explaining that Mr. Lynch was not her natural father and telling her about the sea captain who actually fathered her. Boston is also where she meets Doctor Samuel Walker who is visiting from Texas. Aileen is attracted to the young doctor and agrees to marry him. Samuel needs a mother for his young son and perhaps a woman to warm his bed but falling in love again is not in his plans. Married, they head home to Texas and this is where the romance begins. Will they find love together?

Ms. LaRoque's characters are well written and engaging. The historical atmosphere appears to have been well researched with nary an anachronism to be found. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and will definitely recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

A young Irish teen nurses her beloved mother in her last days before cancer claims her. Shocked when her mother's will is read and finds her father has gambled away much of their estate. Indebted to a man of the worst sort,
who demanded his money or his daughter. She turns to her mother's trusted lawyer for guidance who helps hide her away... in America. She is safe - for the moment. But Irish immigrants are not always welcome, often treated as servants. Aileen is a genteel girl. But when they received word her father and her nemesis learned of her destination, her new American family became ver worried, and set upon a new plan. They had introduced her to a young doctor from Texas, a family friend, who had come to Boston for a medical conference. Dr. Walker is a young widower who lost his wife and baby in childbirth, and is raising his beloved son alone. He vows never to marry again. He won't risk another loss. But when evil follows Aileen to America, will he take a chance to keep her safe, as his friend urges? An attraction has sparked, but the handsome Dr Walker resists when his friend encourages him to take her to wife. Will he make the sacrifice to save her and give his son a mother in turn? Would kind, beautiful, and smart Aileen even agree?
This author weaves a believable tale, portraying life as it was then, and in the process presents a detailed description of early travels by ship and life in America. And in berry early Texas, describes it's flora and fauna as if she lived there in that time, where the compassion of most people was genuine,
but not all. What happens in this complex work may surprise you, enlighten you, intermittently sadden you, and give you cause to cheer. A book well worth the read, and will keep you turning the pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this story

I loved this story. Wonderful settings with characters you love to love a a couple to hate. It is obvious that the author spent considerable time researching for this book including helping us understand how and why things were done back in the day. She takes the time to tell us details when needed and at other times just enough for us to put 2 and 2 together. There are a few 'Aha' moments, but what I enjoyed most was getting to know the characters that you could beg to have a part 2 because I for one didn't want it to end.

I've read most of Linda LaRoque's books, and I'm never disappointed. Please, check out her other books.

A Touch Of Texas Irish Is an adoring story. I cannot wait to read another Novel by Linda. Though this didn't have any Time Travel involved I love it! I cannot say anymore without running the storyline. Keep Going Linda!
